Jaconé Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

We’ve got a classic run of local surf shaping up here at Jaconé. The first couple of days are a bit of a slow start, but the real deals are coming mid-week and beyond.

For Saturday the 11th, we’re looking at a solid 4ft SE swell, but that morning wind is cross-on from the W at 6 mph, just a bit bumpy. It cleans up by the afternoon as the wind swings cross-off and high pressure builds. The combined energy is moderate (514). Not a standout, but a decent warm-up.

Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th are a write-off. The wind is onshore or cross-on, and Monday sees a big jump in size up to 8ft, but it’s messy with strong onshore winds. That’s a hard pass.

Now, Wednesday the 15th is where it gets interesting. The morning is pure magic – offshore wind from the NE at 9 mph, clean, and a 7ft SSE swell with a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy is strong (1184). This is a serious session for experienced surfers. The swell is pushing into the 8ft mark, so it’s expert territory.

Thursday the 16th is another cracker. Same 7ft SE swell, but the morning offshore NE wind is a bit stronger at 12 mph. Still clean, still powerful (1240 combined energy). The longer period (12 seconds) means the waves will have good shape and energy, but it might be a bit straight for the beachbreak – this one’s better suited for the points or reefs if you know where to find them.

Friday the 17th drops back to 4ft, but the offshore NE wind is back, light and clean. A nice, mellow finish to the week.

The second week has a few promising windows. Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th see a shift to a shorter-period, 5ft ENE swell (7 seconds). The wind is offshore in the mornings, so it’s clean, but the short period means the wave quality is average. The combined energy is moderate (455). It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.

Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st are similar – 5-6ft ENE swell, offshore or cross-off wind, clean. The energy is still moderate (458-489). It’s consistent, but not the best.

The real standout in the second week is Saturday the 26th. The morning is forecast to be glassy with a 5ft S swell at 12 seconds. That’s a long period swell, which means proper groundswell energy (764 combined energy). Clean, glassy conditions on a Saturday morning? That’s a keeper. The longer period suits the break well, so expect well-shaped, powerful waves. It’s a bit of a wait, but it’s promising.

Water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Jaconé is a consistent spot, so there’s always something on the cards. The standout days are Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th for the experts, and Saturday the 26th for a glassy, long-period session.

Stay stoked, Rusty.
